We show that the photon-added squeezed vacuum a(dagger m)S(z)\0] and the ph
oton-added squeezed one-photon state a dagger(m)S(z)\1], where in is a non-
negative integer, may be regarded as even and odd nonlinear coherent states
, respectively. To achieve this, we derive an operator-valued function f(N,
m) of the number operator N = a(dagger)a such that a(dagger m)S(z)\i] (i =
0, 1) are eigenstates of f(N, m)a(2). Based on this, and using the unified
method developed by Shanta et at, we find that a(dagger m)S(z)\i] can be e
quivalently expressed in exponential forms. The eigenstates of f(N, -m)a(2)
are also constructed and their nonclassical features are studied in detail
